Well, you better know the code you have written...

So can you add some dynamic code into asm.js and expect same performance? Asm.js is an assembly that looks like JavaScript for compatibility and readability.

Err... Have you ever heard of C#/WPF/WinForms?

It is basically as if Flash Player became a browser.
Exactly, an open source standardized VM would be ideal, then you would have a choice of languages as well.

The only amazing stuff is the distribution mechanism really. Other stuff is just plain old OpenGL but in your browser this time. It is not like it has some crazy support for raytraced voxels or something.

I wouldn't write a large-scale game/engine in byte code. It is effectively a C++ demo.

So it basically means that C++ got another reasonable compilation target. Not much to do with applying JavaScript to large-scale games. Also it is not HTML 5, it is HTML FF23.

...also sometimes people start using the building while you are still making it. Also each builder has his own style. And there is no final blueprint.

"As Google hires all of the world’s good software engineers" - probably an exaggeration, but definitely not true. At least in UK salaries there are lagging, only good for experience and to have it on your CV. Any company is only hiring the best people they could identify of those who applied.

Loyalty already has a definition: stock options. I am loyal to the spirit of the company, and that spirit is always about making money. Just give people a slice of cake, goddamit!

It is a one word explanation to users asking why their app is slow/drains battery/doesn't feel like other apps.

What do you expect from a title that says "Your language sucks, please just pay some attention to our project"?

Node & Scala haven't even defeated their predecessors yet. Another obscure functional language?
